What Causes Fluttering Below The Ribs Of A Diabetic?

I am a 35-year-old woman. I m 5ft 6in and weigh 142 pounds. I have rheumatoid arthritis and type one diabetes. I run and swim. Today I ran 8 miles and feel a strange fluttering beneath my ribs, so pronounced that others can feel it when they touch my rib area. I usually run three times a week and take 2 to 3 aspirin before I go. Normally something like this wouldn t bother me but I m wondering if something might be wrong. I felt the fluttering yesterday as well but not as pronounced. Thank you!

Hi,
It seems that you require some cardiac tests for having any cardiac ailment.
If you are fit then go for swimming and long run.
Without proper cardiac test and controlled diabetes avoid running.
Go for light morning walk.
Ok and take care.
